Imagine a hotel which is rebuilt every year. A new design, new suites, a brand new reception - in fact everything in it is crisp and new.
Well, there is such a hotel; the Ice Hotel, situated on the shores of the Torne River, in the old village of Jukkasjärvi in Swedish Lapland.

10 000 tonnes of crystal clear ice from the ‘ice manufacturing plant’, the Torne River, and 30 000 tonnes of pure snow generously supplied by Mother Nature are needed to build the Ice Hotel every year. The hotel sleeps over 100 guests, and every bedroom is unique.

Covering a total of 3 500 m2, the Ice Hotel includes an Ice Chapel, the hotel itself, an ice art exhibition hall, a cinema and last but not least, the world famous ‘Absolut Ice Bar’. Guests inevitably have a few queries before tucking themselves in their sleeping-bags in one of the stylish ice suites. Your igloo guide will be explain everything you need to know about sleeping in the Ice Hotel.

You are supplied with a specially made sleeping bag and you can enjoy an early morning sauna followed by breakfast.

The temperature in the Ice Hotel varies between -4 and -9 degrees centigrade, depending on the temperature outside and the number of overnight guests
